Stratford Chefs School to host interactive Webinar session to demonstrate the many career options available
As the restaurant and hospitality sectors continue to evolve and adapt to the COVID pandemic, an education in the culinary arts can open the door to endless career possibilities.
An upcoming online Stratford Chefs School information session on Sunday, January 23 at 1 pm EST will provide those considering a career in culinary arts and hospitality an opportunity to hear directly from a panel of SCS graduates and industry leaders who have carved distinct and rewarding careers across cooking, restaurant ownership, food writing and photography, catering, culinary education, viniculture, and recipe development.
Session participants will gain a deeper understanding of the many diverse pathways that emerge from a culinary education and how to build a resilient career, even in the context of a global pandemic that has disrupted the restaurant and food & beverage industries. For both younger students and those considering a career change, the session can help to inform educational and training choices.
The information session will feature SCS Alumni Success Stories, an interactive panel session and live Q & A with SCS Alumni.
“Regardless of who and where we are, all of us still have to eat – and there is a huge industry that feeds people,” said Jeff Leney, Stratford Chefs School’s Director of Marketing and Admissions Development. “Our information session will allow food lovers to hear from Chefs School graduates who have real world experience across numerous roles.
